pl521sss Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I took a long break from Datsun and didn't take much to get addicted again. Finally a 68 Fiveten!! Took a long time to find one. It's a wagon but still awesome car. Fairly complete and almost everything works. Quote Link to comment

pl521sss Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 If anyone is interested on 68 dash, I will be installing a cleaner dash in about 3-4 weeks. This one is actually still in good shape. Will take more pics of it once removed. Send me PM if you want it. Question to all Ratsun 68 Fiveten expert. Is the column shift transmission only made by Jatco or Borg Warner also made them for this car? Hood and hood hinge different from other years? Antenna, did they came with non retractable antenna? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The 68 is a Borg Warner. They didn't transition to JATCOs until like June '70. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oops, I thought it was the other way around! pl521sss.......the parts I PM'd you about are BW. My car was a 1971. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks for info Had a bad experience on my last BW transmission. It was shifting ok and decided to remove filter and replace with new fluid. And after that, transmission won't shift at all to any gear. Is it possible that filter could be the issue? Holding off on servicing this one. The 68 is a Borg Warner. They didn't transition to JATCOs until like June '70. Quote Link to comment
pl521sss Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Need help Heater valve broke. Anyone has a spare or can suggest a compatible valve I can use on a 68 Fiveten heater valve. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've got a good REBUILDABLE used valve if you need one, but regardless, you should order a NEW 620 Pickup valve (still available from Nissan), and use the guts to rebuild whatever used one you get your hands on.

pl521sss Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks I think this should work. Ordering soon if still available I've got a good REBUILDABLE used valve if you need one, but regardless, you should order a NEW 620 Pickup valve (still available from Nissan), and use the guts to rebuild whatever used one you get your hands on.
